Remote Maintenance
End Points
Use the Administration > CFM (Configure Remote MEP – Add) page to specify
remote maintenance end points (MEPs) set on other CFM-enabled devices within a
common MA. Remote MEPs can be added to a static list in this manner to verify that
each entry has been properly configured and is operational. When cross-checking
is enabled, the list of statically configured remote MEPs is compared against the
MEPs learned through continuity check messages (CCMs), and any discrepancies
reported via SNMP traps.
Command Usage
◆
All MEPs that exist on other devices inside a maintenance association should be
statically configured to ensure full connectivity through the cross-check
process.
◆
Remote MEPs can only be configured if local domain service access points
(DSAPs) have already been created (see
"Configuring Maintenance End Points" )
at the same maintenance level and in the same MA. DSAPs are MEPs that exist
on the edge of the domain, and act as primary service access points for end-to-
end cross-check, loop-back, and link-trace functions.
◆
The MEP cross-check start delay which sets the maximum delay that a device
waits for remote MEPs to come up before starting the cross-check operation
can be configured on the Configure Global page (see
"Configuring Global
Settings for CFM" ).
◆
SNMP traps for continuity check events discovered by cross-check operations
can also be configured on the Configure Global page (see
"Configuring Global
Settings for CFM" ).
